We gave it an A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category generally have very few severe deficiencies.

Our nursing grade is based on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as predictive indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.

The final category we rated is long-term care. This facility received a C in this area. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 92.30769 percent of its residents. This is somewhat lower than we expected but still a decent figure. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
